the green Leaves, whereby it is 

 protefted from the Froft, c^c. 

 and about the Beginning of June 

 the Seeds will be perfe£ted. 



The third Sort was formerly 

 more common in England than at 

 prefent. This muil be treated in 

 the fame manner with- the two 

 former, and flowers in the fame 

 Seafbn. 



The fourth and feventh Sorts 

 are tenderer than the former, and 

 muft either be planted in Pots, 

 and fheker'd under a Frame in 

 "Winter, or be plac'd in a warm 

 dry Border. Thefe produce their 

 Flowers very early in the Spring, 

 if the Froft doth not prevent them. 

 The Seeds of thele are ripe about 

 the fame time with the former, 

 and rriuft be fown and manag'd in 

 the fame manner j but the Boxes 

 of Seeds or young Plants of thefe 

 Kinds Ihould be fheker'd in Win- 

 ter. 



The fifth and fixth Sorts are ftill 

 more impatient of Cold and Wet 

 than any of the former, Thefe 

 tnuft conftantly be preferv'd in 

 t*ots fiU'd with fandy light Earth, 

 and hous'd in Winter, but fhould 

 be plac'd near the GlalTes, where 

 they may enjoy as much free open 

 Air as poffible, when the Weather 

 will permits for if they are crowd- 

 ed under other Plants, and are kept 

 too clofe, they are very fubject 

 to mould and rot ,• nor fhould they 

 have much Water in Winter, which 

 is alfo very injurious to them : But 

 whenever they want Water, it 

 ihould be given them fparingly. In 

 Summer thefe Plants may be ex- 

 pos'd to the open Air, when their 

 green Leaves will decay 5 at which 

 time you fhould remove them to a 

 Place where they may have the 

 Morning Sun until eleven o'Clock ; 

 but during the Time that the 



c Y 



Roots are deflitute of Leaves, thef 

 fhould have very little Water giverf 

 them, becaufe at that Seafbn they 

 are not capable of difcharging the 

 Moiflure. This is alfo the proper 

 Seafon to tranfplant the Roots, or 

 to frefh earth them •■, and as the 

 AutAmn comes on, that the Heat 

 decreafes, they may be remov'd 

 into Places more expos'd to the 

 Sun, where they may remain un- 

 til Ociober before they need be 

 hous'd. 



Toward ChriJImasy if the Roots 

 are in good Health, they will be- 

 gin to flower, and continue pro- 

 ducing frefn Flowers until April j 

 from which, if you intend to have 

 any Seeds, you raufl let the Pots 

 be plac'd fo as to receive a great 

 Share of frefli Air, for if their 

 Flov/ers are drawn up in the Houfe, 

 they feldom produce ' any Seeds. 

 Thefe Seeds are ripe about July, 

 when they fhould be immediately 

 fown in Pots or Cafes of good 

 light undung'd Earth, which fliould 

 be fhelter'd in Winter under a Frame, 

 and expos'd in Summer in the fame 

 manner as is diredled for the older 

 Roots, obferving to remove them 

 into Pots at a wider Diftancewhen 

 they are two Years old : and fb 

 from time to time, as their Roots 

 increafe in Bulk, you muft giva 

 them more Room; and in about 

 four or five Years time they will 

 begin to flower, when you fhould 

 let each Root have a feparate Pot^ 

 which at firil may be fmall, but 

 when the Roots are grown larger 

 they mufl be put into bigger 

 Pots.
